Red throated diver Gavia stellata |
The smallest of the UK's divers, its grey-brown
plumage and up-tilted bill readily distinguish it from the other species.
During the summer months this bird can be found breeding on Scottish
lochs. Elsewhere it breeds in northern Europe and the north American
arctic tundra. During the winter it is found mostly on the coast, in
inland bays where it is sheltered. Its diet consists of fish and crustaceans. |
